' cently adopted a resolution declaring

J of living, Is merely making efforts for
the protection of capitalists and lim-
ited circles of society. This, the wage
earners asserted was done at the ex-
pense of the general public whose wel-
fare and interests are entirely neg-
lected. They charged that the cabinet
ha* no understanding of the welfare
of the nation, of labor problems and
the food question which "are threat-
ening the lives and safety of millions
throughout the empire." They de-
manded that tho cabinet should re-
sign.

London, Nov. 26.—Oxford and Cant-
bridge universities have applied for
financial assistance from the state.
The government has responded by ap-
pointing a commission to inquire Into
the matter. The chairman of the com-
mission is the former premier, Her-
bert 11. Asquith.
There 1* no doubt In the public
mind that both the famous unlversU
tie* are hard up but *o also is the
state and the present I* not considered
the moat suitable time for obtaining
any considerable grant from it.
Meanwhile many of the undergnul
uates nre finding It difficult to make
both ends meet owing to the inflated
cost of living. Efforts are being made
by Invoking the profiteering act ti>
enabdle them to procure necessities at
less cost. •
Before the war it was po**ible for
an unusually gifted youth to win
scholarships which almost if not
quite maintained him. Now when the
minimum sum on which he can main-
tain himself while at either of the
universities amounts to from 11.100
to $1,500 a year he cannot live on
scholarship*. The very narrow bridge
by which the poor man might pa** in-
to the old universities has broken
down. It 1* alleged that an education
at Oxford or Cambridge has become
again the exclusive privilege of the
well to do.
